IMPROVEMENT IN CULTIVATORS.

specilieation forming part of Letters Patent No. 27,975, dated April Q4,1860.

To all whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH F. EYLAR, ol Scott, Adams county, Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and usel'ul Improvement in Cultivators; and Ihereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the aeeompan yin gdrawings, making partof this specieation, in which- Figure l isalongitudinal sectionalelevation ot' a cultivator embodying my improvement, and Fig. 2 is aback View of the same.

A is the. axle and frame of the implement, mounted on wheels B B. Aportion ot the axle or frame is elevated midway between the wheels, andsupports the drivers seat C, and is provided with two tongues or thills,D D. Each side ot' the axle A supports a pair ot' sho\-*el-plowshares,their standards F being mortised to the beams lor frames G G. The framesG are supported at their forward ends from the tongues D by hinged andadjustable straps or links H. These links are adjustable vertically andhorizontally by means of holes aand b in the link and tongue,respectively.

I are adjustable brace-chains, attached between the plow-frames andprojections from the tongues D. Standards K on the frames G connectadjnstablyyas shown, to levers L, on which the weight ot' the driver canbe applied to assist at will to depress the shares. c are pins, whichmay be placed, when required, immediately above the levers L, in holesrepresented by dotted lilies in Fig. 1, for the pur -pose ot' keepingthe plows down to their work.

The rear end ot' plo w-frames are suspended from the axle by chains e.These chains can be readily adjusted to limit as desired the depth ofworking ot' the plows.

The plowframes are adapted to be raised to clear the shares from theground and admit of the implement being moved freely around by thefollowing device: Chains or ropes rl are attached to the frames atf, andafter passing over pulleys M connect to pulleys N on shaft 0. A crank,P,is formed in this shaft, through which, by the feet ot the driver, theshaft 0 may be rotated and the frames hoisted, so as to clear the plowsof the ground. The implement is constructed with two tongues or shaftsand an upwardly-bent axle, in order to preserve ihe growing crop frominjury by the team or the implement.

The plow, it' adjusted to work in line with the wheels, will follow anyinequalities in the surface ot' the ground.

l claim as new and of my invention herein and desire to secure byLetters Patent- 'lhe described arrangement of the plows E F, frames G,links H, chains I, standards K,

levers L, chains or cords d, pulleys M N, and crank-shaft 0 P,constructed and operating in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto Set my hand.

J. F. EYLAR.
